  • What you didn’t know about EAGLE: Assembly Variants

    Imagine working days or even weeks on your PCB design to only then be informed that adjustments need to be done to satisfy a particular circuit board criteria. Using the Assembly Variant feature of EAGLE will avoid you having to save the file multiple times under different names. Criterion can be assigned to each variant…


  • What you didn’t know about EAGLE: Display Via Length

    Learn how to display the via information of your design including buried and blind vias in detail. A via is a point of transition in the PCB and its function is to transfer a trace between layers. The Via Lenght function in EAGLE will let you see the depth of the vias on your design. Options for via depth will depend on the layer setup…


  • Othermill + EAGLE at Maker Faire Rome

    At this year’s Maker Faire Rome we announced our partnership with Other Machine Co. makers of the Othermill. The Othermill is a consumer CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine that can be used to make silicone molds, machine a variety of woods, metals, and oh yeah… PCB boards! It is this last facet of this amazing…
